<content type='text'>
The 16k FreeRTOS heap originally had all TCBs and stacks dynamically
allocated within it (plus semaphores and some other things).  Now that
xTaskCreateStatic is used instead of xTaskCreate, the TCBs and stacks
are allocated statically and no longer use any of the FreeRTOS heap.
Therefore, the FreeRTOS stack can be shrunk by the amount that has been
made static.  Furthermore, the TCBs and stack that are now static should
be placed in the .rtos_heaps section of RAM because this RAM is treated
specially by the bootloader (the bootloader executes from the first 16k
of RAM and loads the firmware into the section starting after the 16k).

After this patch the FreeRTOS heap (ucHeap) is 7200 bytes.  The memory
available for the MicroPython heap is 54936 bytes (including GC overhead).

<content type='text'>
In VStartSimpleLinkSpawnTask we change xTaskCreate to xTaskCreateStatic
so that the task is created using statically allocated memory for the TCB
and stack.

This means that xTaskCreate function is no longer needed (the static
version is now used exclusively).

This function is no longer used.  Having the .boot section attribute
meant that it was included in the firmware regargless of use.  Without
this attribute the linker can remove the function.

<title>cc3200: Place functions only used while booting in a special section.</title>

Such functions are never used after MicroPython has started, and they
remain in RAM wasting space. Now they are placed in a special section
named "boot" which sits just before the heap, allowing us to extend
the effective heap area up to the new boot section. Right now, this
gives us back ~1K, but in the future, more functions might end up in
there as well.
